I think I have lock jaw (wide open that is)! Maybe a bit of drool looking at this great work Mike. Fabulous capture and straight to my yellow folder;-)
---Yes, you too can have a snazzy Holiday Icon like this, just step outside, face southwest, and holler at the top of your lungs .. "Hey, Avatartans of Aussieland, Help me." ... and somebody will be there shortly, it may be the police, but it may be the 'AoA' representative for your area. ... really.
Geeze, how is it possible that one man can get so many pictures and not brag about it... lol, your shots are amazing, always a thrill to see what's up next.
This is a amazing scene. I would love to be there grapping with all the senses the wonderful moment of this wonder. Never wanting to leave such beauty for the insanity of the city.
Excellent Michael. You do indeed have me under the canopy, sitting there, admiring the scene. The photo has a dreamy quality about it. I love the orange reflection towards the rear of the photo that is in the water.
I just spotted where I want to sit and comtemplate if I were actually there. See that flat stone on the right side of the photo that has some highlight on it? That's my seat!

I hope this provides some reassurance to you as to having some of your 'older' ... and I use that word loosely ... very loosely ... images come up in the voting booth. (Two images of yours in one session, total.)
Allow me to say this ... wonderful, certainly professional as per your usual ... and again ... some more 'photo-magic' from you to grace my screen. :o)
The timing of the reappearance of this one ... perfect. My favourite time of year ... and this is an exemplary image of that welcomed season for me.
